Alex
Jones was joined on air yesterday (MP3)
by Ed Brown to discuss his ongoing case to fight charges of tax
evasion. Mr Brown and his wife have not filed or paid federal income
taxes since 1997, citing the fact that there is no law that stipulates
American citizens have to pay income taxes. Prosecutors claim (based
upon arbitrary figures provided by the IRS) that the couple "owes"
$625,000 in taxes. A jury agreed in court on Thursday the 18th of
January.

Mr Brown described the actions of the authorities
against him over the past two years:

"We thought they'd be here ten years ago, they
came in ten years later in November of 2004. They arrived with twenty-eight
approximate personel. Twenty of them were CID, IRS, two US Marshals
and one postal officer. They had up on the hill a sniper with three
observers, two state troopers backing them up behind them and one
state trooper across the street. Everybody was armed and everybody
had body armour.

We were waiting for them to do this because we already
knew there was no law for the tax, but we couldn't just go in there
and sue them, it wouldn't work, the courts would just dismiss it."

The authorities entered his property, questioned Brown
and downloaded information from his computer.

Following these actions, Brown filed a tort against
four officials that were in charge of the operation he described.
It was turned over to the United States district court who in turn
transferred the case to the federal court. Mr Brown notified them
that there was no federal jurisdiction involved in the case. Eventually
the case was dismissed and six months later Brown says he was arrested
and physically assaulted by police officers.

Brown was not served with an arrest warrant, was not
given any counsel and was unlawfully dragged away and thrown into
a holding cell. Brown was then hauled before a United States district
Judge who proceeded to serve him with papers. The judge asked Brown
how he pleaded, whilst Brown was still unaware of what it was he
was being charged with.

After a court appointed attorney pleaded not guilty
without any consultation with Mr Brown, he was then told that he
could not be released unless he turned over the firearms he keeps
at home. Brown relented and allowed the authorities to take the
guns from his house, an opportunity they seized upon as an excuse
to raid Brown's house and take anything they could find.

Mr. Brown’s wife, Elaine, was convicted Jan.
18 as well. Both are due to be sentenced April 24.

Mr. Brown had been in court with Mrs. Brown Jan. 9-11
but stopped attending on the grounds that the process seemed like
a “kangaroo court” in which Judge McAuliffe obstructed
him from bringing in the evidence and/or witnesses to argue his
point that there is no law requiring payment of an unapportioned
direct tax, such as the federal income tax, on the labor of American
workers, including he and his wife.

The judge’s decision to disallow evidence
and witnesses for the defendants—along with his notes to
the jury that he would not allow Mr. Brown to try and persuade
the jurors on the validity of his claims that there is no law
requiring payment of income tax on labor—are examples cited
by those in the national movement to pass ballot initiatives to
reign in judicial corruption. These advocates say it is just such
an apparent violation of due process that creates the need for
these initiatives.

Mr Brown cited Aaron Russo's recent massive hit film,
America:
Freedom to Fascism, as an important expose that has focused
a great deal more attention on his own case and the unlawful income
tax system. The film has exploded back into the google video top
20 as a result of the media coverage of Brown's case. In recent
developments Mr Brown agreed to let Fox news conduct an interview
in his home on the proviso that the reporters sit down with him
and watch the entirety of Russo's film.

Russo expertly exposes the traitorous Federal Reserve
Act and the fact that there is no law that stipulates American citizens
have to pay income taxes. The ratification of the 16th amendment,
also known as the "Tax amendment", represents a fundamental
undermining of Constitutional law in America. It is the greatest
hoax ever perpetrated against the American people by the elite private
banking institutions that have usurped government as an arm of their
overall control mechanism.

Russo presents interviews with an impressive range
of government officials, IRS special agents , FBI officers, Politicians
and tax attorneys who have researched and subsequently campaigned
against the Federal Reserve Act and thus reveals why the IRS is
an illegal foundation.

The income tax does not meet either criteria of Constitutionally
legal taxation in America, that is direct apportioned tax or indirect
uniform tax. The IRS claims that the 16th Amendment allowed for
a third form of taxation, however, the supreme court ruling on the
amendment states that it allows for no new forms of taxation. More
supreme court cases in the same period confirm the same conclusion.
The 16th Amendment did not allow the Federal Government to levy
a new tax, thus there is no Constitutional basis for the income
tax.

While the AP have described Ed Brown as being "holed
up" and "barricaded" in his "compound"
like some kind of dangerous extremist, he is in fact simply refusing
to leave his house. Friends and well wishers have been
gathering to support Mr Brown at his home in New Hampshire.
He expects that federal agents will wait until the media coverage
of his case has died down before attempting to forcibly enter his
home to arrest him.

“Live free or die.” Brown told listeners
as he declared he was a man of the creator and the slave of no man.
